Precision manufacturing and laser welding technology for demanding components Our core competence lies in the high-precision machining of metals – especially titanium – as well as in sophisticated joining technologies such as laser welding. We specialise in the series production of small, complex components with the highest requirements in terms of dimensional accuracy, surface quality and process reliability. As a certified manufacturer of medical devices, we have many years of experience in handling demanding materials, tight tolerances and documented manufacturing processes. We also apply these high quality standards to projects in other industrial sectors. Laser welding is a particular focus of our technological expertise. We have been using this process successfully for over 25 years – among other things, to manufacture gas-tight and corrosion-resistant assemblies. This enables us to join even sensitive or very small components in a reliable and reproducible manner. Our manufacturing expertise makes us a reliable partner for companies that require precision-manufactured components and high-quality joining technologies – from technical feasibility studies and process development to cost-effective series production. Our customers come from the following sectors, among others: • Medical technology • Tool and mould making • Measurement technology • Mechanical engineering • Automotive supply industry • Aviation supply industry With our experience in precision manufacturing, quality assurance and process stability, we support our customers in efficiently and reliably producing sophisticated components in series.
